I CAN SMILE AGAIN
(E. P. Djob)

I’M SO THANKFUL, I CAN SMILE AGAIN
SO THANKFUL

IT’S BEEN A TIME WHEN THE SORROW 
SEEMED TO BE MY MIDDLE NAME
NO SUN TO SHINE, NO TOMORROW, 
TROUBLES ALL AROUND MY LIFE OF SHAME
BUT IN THE NIGHT, I HAVE FOUND A FRAIL TREMBLING FLAME
I CAN SMILE AGAIN, AGAIN

CLOUDS IN MY SKIES, NOTHING SMART, 
EVERYDAY I’VE HAD TO LIVE
TEARS IN MY EYES, DESPAIR IN MY HEART, 
AND NOTHING GOOD INSIDE TO GIVE
BUT IN THE STORM, I HAVE LEARNED TO STAND AND BELIEVE
I CAN SMILE AGAIN, AGAIN

I’M SO THANKFUL, I CAN SMILE AGAIN

MY BABY'S GONE, LOVE ON LOAN, 
LEAVING A VOID IN MY SOUL
MY VOW WAS DONE, JUST TO STAY ALONE, 
TILL THIS BODY OF MINE GETS COLD
I’VE FOUND A PLACE 
WHERE MY LOVE WILL NEVER, EVER GROW OLD
I CAN SMILE AGAIN
I HAVE FOUND A FRAIL TREMBILNG FLAME, 
I CAN SMILE AGAIN
I HAVE LEARNED TO STAND AND BELIEVE, 
I CAN SMILE AGAIN
AND OUR LOVE WILL NEVER, EVER GROW OLD

I’M SO THANKFUL, I CAN SMILE AGAIN
